In light of dismantling of APM by the government in the near future, the Company would be developing its own marketing network and infrastructure and towards this end is exploring various options. The Government’s disinvestment in IBP Ltd offers a good opportunity for the company to launch its marketing efforts from an established platform. It is in this context that the Company is examining the option of participating in the disinvestment program of IBP with or without a partner. This proposal is very much in the planning stage and the final view will be taken at the appropriate time"
